How is ics going to effect the tablet. I saw the phone side of it but didn't really hear the tablet side?

Did you see the video on ICS, where you touch & swipe those small windows away?

If the TF101 gets ICS we will not need those close x icon buttons. :)

I have decoded the image's substructure to find that this picture actually came from a GS2.

edit: kidding. but no, seriously, these are wallpapers from the prime not images taken by the camera. *sigh*
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] andyxover:
Hi, These are indeed pictures taken using prime's camera, and they are included in prime as wallpapers. I grabbed it from Asus Taiwan Facebook page with chinese descriptions saying the pictures were taken using prime.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bradputt:
actually from the chinese note, it's taken with TP with flash, F2.4 and auto focus mode.

I can see of it being of use, for me when blogging and in need of quick product photography.

For a student - when typing notes in class (or audio recording), maybe even video recording, taking quick pictures of the whiteboard, etc.

I do agree, the money would be best used for something else or maybe even to charge less....

but hey, it's not totally useless.

Transformer Prime sound developed with Bang & Olufsen

For those wondering what the Sonic Master sound in the Prime is. Its a technology developed in conjunction with Bang & Olufsen.

"We have created the groundbreaking SonicMaster sound technology in association with the world-famous Bang & Olufsen ICEpower®, to bring your notebook audio to life."

http://sonicmaster.asus.com/en/SonicMaster.html

It looks like Asus went top notch when developing the sound for the Transforme Prime it also has a subwoofer.

Video Demonstration...

Wow! That puts HTC's beats audio to ****!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] reaperzero:
lol agreed. htc gtfo. Prime is here to rule
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] gkillerx:
Your post doesn't makes any sens....

1. you didn't test The primes audio

2. I am sure you didn't test the HTC beats audio

3. HTC Beats audio is a equilaiser for your headphones, has nothing to do with the speakers in the phone...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
Where the hell will they be putting a subwoofer?

Really can't wait to see this thing in action...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chickswearhats:
They just can't go wrong with this thing, it is starting to become the perfect tablet, especially with this latest news.

Same, I can't wait to have it in my hands.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] stdlyman3k:
not possitove but I red somewhere that the sub goes in the dock

Found this posted on another Transformer forum

ASUS shows us the sound quality between a typical speaker found on conventional notebook vs a speaker on a SonicMaster notebook

[YOUTUBE]FXVyakTD3Rs#![/YOUTUBE]

From ASUS Website

If the Transformer Prime sounds anything like that - I'd be a happy camper

EDIT : Here's a Pic of the Subwoofer that goes with the Laptop from ASUS website
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Jocelyn:
But isn't the dac realtek? I'm not going to claim its going to sound like garbage because its realtek, but cmon, how good could possibly sound? I'm willing to bet it'll be just be loud lol
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] scottyf79:
I cant confirm the sound quality from the Prime but if its anything to go by we just put out one of the new Asus laptops with the Bang Olufsen speaker systems at work and it was pretty darn good!

Going by the styling and how slim the laptop was.............the Prime will be stunning aswell! The build is awesome (brushed aluminium me thinks)

I will try get a picture of the laptop today and upload it and put a link up.

(i had bang olufsen ice speaker in an old samsung f440 mobile phone and for its size it was not bad)

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] morphiend:
nice sound is cool and all but anything other than youtube videos and i'll be using my headphones so i couldn't care less about the quality of the speaker.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] IT Wannabe:
Yeah, nothing beats my Bose headphones (other than a real set of nice floorstanding speakers and a big subwoofer) for sound, but I rarely have my headphones with me outside of the house because they are just too awkward to carry around all the time (and I can't justify running the risk of breaking or losing a $160 pair of headphones).

Having something that sounds nice for gaming, Youtube (like you suggested), or showing your friends a movie or a song is really worth a lot, at least to me.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Jocelyn:
Get a "good" pair of armature iems or Vsonic Gr07s ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kokusho:
Do you know why sound is ubber important on a tablet ?

Because a tablet is meant to be used in bed.

And do you know where is the single place it's awfull to wear a headphone ?

that's right, on a pillow !

Love to see Asus caring so much about the sound on a multimedia device.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
So, where did the screenshot showing the subwoofer bit come from? I'm getting conflicting info...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Frosty666:
It was in that teardown from ZTOP.

Sent from my x10 running TEAM.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
Can't identify my source, but it's looking like that's bad info. No subwoofer in the Prime...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] timlot:
The above slides come from Asus conference call held on the 9th. zTop had to take the images down because Asus Taiwan threaten to sue, but the images are still out there.

The subwoofer is located in the keyboard dock in the space previously occupied by the front left usb port of the 1st gen dock. Its now the subwoofer air reflex port.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
My source tells me that the information was from before the specs were finalized. And, the zTop unit was an engineering sample, not production.

I trust my source and in fact would be very surprised if they're incorrect, but it'll be interesting to see what actually ships.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] timlot:
Well unless your source is Asus, I'll stick with the slides Asus released to the public just a week ago. Because, I doubt they changed the specs at point when they are probably ramping up on production models to ship a few weeks from now, but what do I know maybe they did I guess we'll see.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ickk:
like others have said, nice, but laptop speakers will be laptop speakers, and I'll stick with my expensive cans instead. Perhaps this will increase the midrange bass, but I dont expect it to affect subbass much. This is still good for when you want to show someone a song or a video, but doesnt compare to the range of a good set of headphones.

The only problem with headphones though is you need an amp to properly drive them as the transformer doesnt get very loud. Cmoy amps are cheap to make though fortunately.

I've been using beyerdynamic dt 880s at home, and when I'm out in public I throw my pair of vmoda crossfade lp's in my bag. The Kevlar cables on the crossfades and angeled jacks are great for mobile devices as far as durability goes, theres a descrete mic on the cable, and they are not as embarrassing to wear in public as many more powerful cans are.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
Folks, I really can't say who my source is, but if you're expecting a subwoofer in the Prime then I think you'll be disappointed.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] digimuzik:
Nothing on the actual ASUS page yet, but this page says "SonicMaster technology and built-in subwoofer for a superior sound range"

*gah* I'm too new to link to the nvidia page. Go to nvidia-dot-com slash object/tegra-asus.html

How much "sub" can an 8mm speaker put out anyway, though?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
Yes, it sure says that, doesn't it? I'll have to pass that along to my source and see what they say...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Magnesus:
Have you tried VoodooSound? It turns on the build in headphone preamp.

---------- Post added at 11:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:31 PM ----------

Unless you put it to your ear it won't even give you bass. But it could make the middle sound much better. For sub bass you need speaker the size of the whole transformer probably. :)

Bunch of new Photo Samples from Asus Transformer Prime

Asus Facebook Link - 44 Photos

Here's a few
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kokusho:
Wow that looks reallllllly good.

but can they please post the pictures elsewhere than facebook...?

Because juging the quality of a picture on the low res, low quality version of an image is reading a book in a ketchup bowl.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BongoBong:
haha what does this mean???
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
Agreed. I too want to know what "reading a book in a ketchup bowl" means. It sounds awesome, but then when I think about it I don't get it. I don't even know what a "ketchup bowl" is... :D

Oh, and these Prime pictures are freaking awesome. As some others have said, I don't typically use my TF for taking pictures, but with that kind of quality I might have to start making up reasons. Perhaps ASUS figures that if the Prime is so much lighter and thinner, people will carry it around more.

No idea, but also: if every other upgrade on the Prime is that significant, I can't wait to see it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kokusho:
Sorry i made that one up xD. I thought Ketchup was known in english. It's basicaly tomato sauce.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
Oh, I know what ketchup is. I just don't know what a "ketchup BOWL" is. :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lancer3397:
okay, so it takes photos. I never understood this obsession/desire for a high mp camera on a tablet / laptop. one of the front yes, for web talking. but not on the back. all it does is add cost to something.

Nice.

TheVerge and other sites are picking up on it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cozzykim:
Slightly off topic but, I've used Skype on the TF101 to talk to people and switch cameras while doing so.

Click the video camera icon on the toolbar bottom right when in video conversation, you get a dialogue box - front camera, back camera, camera off.

HTH :)

ICS demoed on TF Prime

I ran across this today.... amazing how fast they ported ICS over since it only been out a couple of days

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=9tAwHCDq-94

The original article can be found at http://goo.gl/2v9EE
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Techno79:
Yeah, I saw this video on the phandroid.com site

What I was really excited about is how they say Asus took about 2 days to get ICS ported to the Prime. That's amazingly quick. Even if they take a few more weeks to get it properly polished and tested, that's still miles better than any other manufacturer.

Even home brew ROM cookers, can turn out custom ICS updates for devices in a matter of days. Really makes me wonder how/why it takes other manufacturers months to release an update. I recently read the average time to receive an official update is just over 6 months (this is not including the many that do not receiving them at all).

Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime – First Look

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] darrenjdoc:
Pardon my language but fcuk it looks amazing !!!!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Frosty666:
That looks absolutely amazing! Im totally sold on amethyst gray now, it's not as purple as the Asus site made it out to be.

How did this guy even get his hands on one?

Sent from my x10 running TEAM.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BongoBong:
Is it the amethyst gray though? A few early reviews/looks there have been seemed to be with uncoloured units and I figured this one was the same. If it is the amethyst gray I may have to consider that as it definitely doesn't look as purple as they make it out to be. If it's not amethyst gray then why the hell don't they sell an uncoloured version!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kokusho:
no this one seems definitly amethiste gray.

Less finger print, less brillant, much nicer.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BongoBong:
hmmm I wonder how the champagne gold will look in real life as well then. That definitely looks way better then those stock photos makes it appear.

Just when I was leaning towards getting the champagne gold I am now undecided again!!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] briggs81:
I havE never purchases asus products.

Do you guys find them reliable?

I appreciate them releasing stuff before other companies do. Friggin Sony just released their dual core tablet. seems late. I usually purchase from htc, Samsung, Sony. I feel I should give asus a try.

Does asus try and optimize software or modify the os much? I liked my Sony because they didn't mess much with android. Didn't get much of their "stink" on android, but added some near stuff.

I'd be ok with straight android too.

It's nice to see that the original transformer is one of the most Popular tablets on xda!

Here's some more prime news

http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/28/eee-pad-transformer-prime-gets-handled-fawned-over/?m=false
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Magnesus:
Quite reliable yes. As I remember Asus laptops were listed as the ones that break the least.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kristovaher:
I may be in epic minority but I really like the original Transformer design and color more than that of Prime. Amethyst Gray does not look good, purple is not a color I would want. I also don't think that Champagne Gold looks good in real life.

I am also quite annoyed by the brushed surface that creates this reflective-thingie on it. It does not look good in anywhere but pictures.

All I would really want is just a good-dextured metallic gray color.

But hey, everything else rocks about that device!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] DarsVaeda:
Thanks for the link!

That is the first video showing the color nicely in my opinion and good I preordered an amethyst grey :)

Okay actually I do not care to much about color, I want it work not look good.

But as this seems to be a huge discussion some might consider this helpful ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lancer3397:
nice link, but echoing someone else above, I wish the prime was available in the espresso coffee type brown of the TF101. shame it's not an offering.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BongoBong:
I'm just happy the amethyst gray is nowhere near as purple looking as their stock photo's make it look
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jmt230:
I have an Asus laptop (U30-JC), and the only problem I've had with it was software related (Windows 7 quit working, so I now run Fedora 15 on it with no problems - just wish they'd get nvidia optimus working in linux). I've never had to use their customer service, so I can't speak to that, but that could be considered a good thing too. I also have a TF101, and have been extremely happy with that. I dropped it and dinged it up a bit, but it still works perfectly, and I use it all the time for browsing the web, reading and writing emails, playing games - even for writing simple documents every now and then. Because I love it so much, I've pre-ordered a prime, and can't wait to get my hands on it. My TF101 will probably go to my brother or my parents. As for bloatware - there was definitely some on my laptop, but no more than any other company. On the TF101, I think most of the additions are pretty useful, so I don't mind them.

Hope that helps!

I know this is for the galaxy nexus, but it's a good sign that the ICS update for prime may not be so far away.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] XXX-KP:
i am quite excited to have this tablet for myself, but still i am wondering about the browsing experience...!!

is there anybody over here had experienced it ?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] htowngator:
I imagine it will be quite good with ICS and the processing power of the Tegra 3 especially when Flash and AIR come to the device by end of december.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kokusho:
About Air and Flash I hope Adobe won't slack off and provide them quickly for ICS.

I want Photoshop Touch to work on the Prime and without Air I don't think that will be the case.

Dont jus say thanks, use d 'THANKS' button. [XDA RULE]
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] sean is here.:
I've seen this question here at xda several times, so if I may...

The basic answer is that there is no "best" or "better". There are various flavors, and just like ice cream, candy, soft drinks, hard drinks, or pizza toppings...there is no right answer. The best answer is that it is best to try different ROMs until you find one that you like best. This could be the 1st or the 101st that you flash. So, although it doesn't help in your quest...that's the basic answer.

Opinions are like elbows and a$$holes, everyone's got 1, sometimes they've 2. What works for me, might not for you.

The hard part is rooting, once that's done you're free to experiment with as many ROMs as you see fit.

As a helpful suggestion, look at screenshots and read through the posts of ROMs that you're considering. From that you can probably narrow it down. Another indicator could be the number of times that particular ROM was DL'ed, but none of these really work as well as trying it out yourself.

Develop an opinion, and when you find a ROM you like...think of donating to the dev. He's worked hard to give it to everyone, so think about buying him a beer.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] madman:
try out some of custom roms and if you are looking for BEST custom rom for you then only one person can make it and thats YOU... else use roms which are available in dev section
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mdfzhi:
lolololol. wicked idiom :p cant stop laughing reading this :D:D

btw ur right, theres no such thing as "the best" rom.

op, if ur sick of facing pc screen, u should also consider us here sick of answering the same repeating question thousands of time over and over again.
